Organise a Monero Mining Party
A Mining Party brings together the hashrate of several Monero miners (CPU, or rented hashrate via NiceHash and MiningRigRentals) for a set period and points it at the same goal. If your community wants to give it a try, here is what you need to know.
Do you need permission?
You do not need permission from OwnBlock to organise a Mining Party using our public pools. If a group of miners coordinates their equipment and points their combined hashrate at the pool, from our side it remains conventional mining traffic.
If you contact us beforehand and tell us what you are planning, we can review your request and prepare a private instance specifically for your Mining Party, with a 0% fee.
0% fee for approved Mining Parties
Monero Mining Parties we approve with private infrastructure operate with a 0% OwnBlock fee. If you use our public XMR pool directly instead, the standard 2% fee applies.
How much hashrate do you need?
No amount of hashrate guarantees finding a Monero block: mining is probabilistic. Use the OwnBlock calculator to estimate the probability of finding a block with the combined hashrate and duration you are planning.
